Hartsbourne swept the board at Abridge Golf Club as they dominated the Metropolitan Tournament.
With adverse weather conditions forcing players to compete over nine holes rather than 18, it was Hartsbourne who shone brightest amid the gloom.
The Bushey club eased to victory in the men’s and ladies best net and gross as well as the combined ladies and men’s net gross.
Lori Friedman and Valerie Lemer continued Hartsbourne’s success as they won the individual nine hole competitions as well as the ladies best individual gross.
Coombe Hill’s Joel Hill and Hartsbourne’s Mark Cohen won the men’s individual competition to share the Coombe Hill Cup after both scoring 35 from their nine holes.
Cohen also won the best individual net along with Louis Leveson of WAGOS to claim the Potters Bar Cup.
Hartsbourne’s Jeremy Bohn and Abridge’s Ricky Curtis shared the Gerald Tankel Cup after finishing as runners-up in the best individual gross.
Elsewhere, Abridge’s Oriol Phillips shared the Sonia Bowman Cup with Hartbourne’s Lemer after recording the best individual net.
Phillips also finished runner-up to the best individual gross alongside Dyrham Park’s Sharon Landau to land the Sybil Tankel Cup.
Meanwhile, Coombe Hill’s Freddie Rextrew scored the day’s only hole in one after a stunning effort on the second hole.
